between Worcester and Stratford-upon-Avonprobably less than 20 miles from
Stratford-upon-Avon. Lacy Socks doesn't appear on my road atlas.

I loved the movie The Green Mile but did you notice that the older version
of Tom Hanks character had a totally different accent to the younger man.
Very odd.

Yes, Robert Redford was Sundance I think, and Paul Newman was Butch.
Katherine Ross was Sundance's love interest, and the movie won 4 Academy
Awards. And yes, parts were filmed in Colorado.

Sean Connery plays well an Egyptian Scot (forget the name of th

If the American custom of removing the garter and throwing to the unwed

Any non British non Scot (if you see what I mean) trying to do a Scottish
accent fails miserably - with, if I remember correctly, the single exception of
Danny Kaye who made a fair job of it. I've heard one or two English or Irish
